Another reason to have strong doubts about republicon claims of tax cuts is to remember the 1982' TEFRA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Equity_and_Fiscal_Responsibility_Act_of_1982
when Reagan gave us the largest peacetime tax increase in history up to that point.

Circa Sept. 1982' we had the following entitled "Death of Reaganomics" and boy did it die a death and with it the last vestiges of free market ideas and non-interventionism thinking.

http://www.mises.org/journals/lf/1982/1982_09.pdf starting page 3

Republicons are out and out lying when they sell the conjob of taxcuts. Granted Obama is no better by any stretch but stop falling for that non sense that republicons believe in free markets, limited gov't and lower taxes. This week they've proven themsleves to be exactly opposite of those ideals and principles.

Does anybody see any trend with Republican presidents and National debt? Speaking of Reagan first....if McCain gets into Office rest assured we will be completely bankrupted....can we take a chance for more of the same?






Reaganomics Key Points:
  • The national debt when Ronald Reagan took office was about $1 trillion. That included in it all the debt run up for the Revolutionary war, the Spanish-American war, the Civil war, World War I, World War II, the Korean war, the Vietnam war and all the Social wars of the 1930's and subsequent years. In other words it took the United States from 1776 until 1980 or more than 200 years to accumulate a national debt of $1 trillion.
  • Ronald Reagan left us a national debt of about $3.5 trillion or $3,500 billion.
  • Given the spending habits established by the legacy of Ronald Reagan the national debt is now a little over $7 trillion! (Click for excellent charts for what and where we spend)
  • The interest cost on the national debt now runs about $318 billion a year! When Ronald Reagan took office they were about $53 billion a year.

Hey Paid, this morning I saw this feature on http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2008/10/04/dnt.lemon.natl.debt.clock.cnn.

It reminds me almost in 1913' when the 16th amendment (Income Tax) was being debated and at the time the highest tax rate was 1%. Someone proposed they include in the law a cap that the tax rate could never go above 5% and the Congress laughed as if someone had just said that aliens with land in Roswell NM in 1947' too.

I guess in the early 1980's when the clock was put up that the thought of the debt going over $10 trillion was also like them little green men.

Geez! I just had the thought that maybe those were little green men in Roswell after all!

Let's just all pay our $80,000 and be done with it. Maybe make $20,000 a year payments over 4 years.
